The Supremes nix Aereo: The U.S. Supreme Court stepped into the ever-evolving world of how content is delivered to TV viewers with a 6-3 decision on the streaming start-up Aereo. In a 6-3 ruling, the court decided that Aereo streams TV content to subscribers violates TV networks' copyright.

USA Today has a rundown of winners and losers in this decision, including "the major TV network owners — Disney (ABC), CBS Inc., Comcast (NBC) and 21st Century Fox (Fox)," who fall into the "winners" category; and consumers who are fed up with expensive cable subscriptions and are championing the cause of "a la carte" TV (losers.)

The New York Times also reports on the decision, and its "far-reaching implications for the television industry."

The Wall Street Journal says the decision is a "high-stakes victory" for broadcasters, and "a significant blow to Aereo, a service that has allowed subscribers to watch and record their local over-the-air broadcasts from an array of electronic devices. The company aimed to appeal to cord cutters who were seeking Internet-based alternatives to cable television."

Diane Sawyer will sign off: From the evening ABC broadcast, "World News Tonight," that is. As ABC News reports, Sawyer is leaving the "World News" anchor role, and "stepping into a new role where she will create innovative specials and tackle big issues and ideas." David Muir will replace Sawyer on the evening news broadcast as anchor and managing editor. And George Stephanopoulos will become "chief anchor of ABC News, leading the network's coverage of breaking news and special events." Sawyer starts her new gig on Sept. 2.

Eli Wallach: The gifted character actor died Tuesday night at 98, as CNN reports. Though Wallach worked in television, his most indelible work was done in movies. Fortunately for us, many of those movies, and Wallach's classic performances, can be seen on Turner Classic Movies. Some of my favorite Wallach roles appear in films that turn up regularly on the TCM schedule, including "Baby Doll," the 1956 movie written by Tennessee Williams and directed by Elia Kazan, co-starring Carroll Baker as the young woman both Wallach and Karl Malden lust after; "The Misfits," the 1961 contemporary western/character study written by Arthur Miller, directed by John Huston, and starring Wallach, plus Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe in their last completed roles; and the villainous Calvera in "The Magnificent Seven," a movie so good it did honor to its source material (Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai") and made a fine ensemble out of such disparate actors as Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn and Horst Buchholz (as, improbably, "Chico.")

Fortunately, TCM just announced a tribute to Wallach, to air June 30. The 11-hour marathon features such films as "The Misfits," "Baby Doll," and "How the West Was Won."

And here's one of TCM's characteristically touching tributes:
